About the Training Courses Section

This section is divided into courses for therapeutic play
and play therapy training accredited by Play Therapy UK (PTUK) and other
courses.

Accredited courses
are ones that have been accredited by PTUK and meet the requirements of the
Register of Play and Creative Arts Therapists, which is accredited by the Professional
Standards Authority (www.playtherapyregister.org.uk).
These courses have also been accredited through Play Therapy International

validated by Leeds Beckett (formerly Leeds Metropolitan) University and in the
